welcome back. >> thank you. >> mitt romney did not answer the question last night what would he do to make sure women are getting fair pay. he took a lot of heat for the binders full of women, but was it clear to you? >> absolutely. i think he should be applauded for saying i'm not looking for people who supported me politically. i'm not making this political. i'm going to make sure we have qualified women in my cabinet. i think he deserves credit for that. i think that's exactly what he will do when he's president. he will make sure there are qualified women at the top levels to have the white. exactly like he has in his campaign. >> do you understand why some women seem to take that as a little condescending or out of date to say -- and maybe a question can be raised about why did he even have to ask for binders full of women. who are the people who are vetting the cabinet for him that they didn't give him a single woman? >> i think he should be given credit for saying wait a minute, i'm not taking what i'm given. we're going u to show what we have in massachusetts, the diversity. i
